My laptop at home is oh so sick and is waiting for the computer repairman (aka Kale) to bring it back to health! I’m getting behind on blog reading (in most cases, just commenting), and I’m really behind on posting.

Life continues to be busy with work, working out, training, and getting ready for the wedding, which is only 2 months away now!!

Speaking of the wedding… they’re going with fall colors, mostly chocolate brown, green, and orange. Anyone have any recommendations for what I should wear (as mother of the groom)? The setting will be informal or dressy casual. Have you seen the suggestions for “mother of the bride”? They’re really not me. Suggestions?

I have missed hearing from you. I figured you were really busy. The colors sound so pretty. I would pick something that you would wear again. My mom wore a beautiful suit (skirt, not pants.) She wanted to wear my favorite color. So she went with green. I don't think I would go with white or off white. I have been to weddings were the mother in law wore white like the bride. I thought it wasn't nice to take away from the bride. Just a suggestion. You will be beautiful know matter what.

So sorry about the computer - I get really grumpy when mine gets sick. I'd suggest taking the bride shopping too - even if she can't articulate it she'll have an idea of what she would like for you to wear. blessings, marlene

I'm sorry you have a sick computer :( As far as what to wear for the wedding a lot of people think because you are family you have to MATCH the colors of the wedding, but I think you can wear whatever you want. I mean maybe something jewel toned because it's fall...but it doesn't have to be one of their colors. Chadwicks catalog has cute stuff or Speigel's? I like JCPennys too...take lots of pictures once you decide so we can see :)
